With DSI now leveraging the cloud, customers have access to an AWS-based
platform. For our customers, that means better scalability, incremental
consumption (pay as you go pricing) and the elimination of on-premise
management hassles and costs. This means customers can handle more
easily and efficiently the difficulty of infrastructure administration
while taking advantage of a SaaS model. This makes DSI’s offering
flexible — as the on-premise and cloud offerings have the same
functionality. DSI remains committed to an on-premise solution while
offering the flexibility of the cloud, should a customer want it.

In addition, with new inbound APIs, the DSI platform can function as a
Mobile Back End as a Service (MBaaS). This means customers can now
leverage our middleware to take advantage of powerful integration, data
replication and authentication capabilities while using their choice of
development tools. A developer looking to build a new application with
other development tools, such as Apple’s Xcode, can easily do so now
while taking full advantage of DSI’s robust platform.

“This is yet another step forward showing why more and more customers
pick us to help them move to a truly mobile
supply chain model,” said Matt
McGraw, President & CEO of DSI. “Our global customers choose us
because we help them build their businesses for the mobile now and the
mobile future. With the enhancements in Version 8.0, DSI continues to
lead the way in helping businesses leverage mobile technology to be
successful.”

Whether customers choose a hybrid model, or on-premise or cloud
instances, they now can choose whatever fits their needs. In addition to
the cloud and MBaaS features, Version 8.0 goes a long way to helping
companies move to becoming a mobile
supply chain and also offers customers other great enhancements:

ERP Gateway: Our new gateway is optimized for the cloud,
allowing cloud-hosted implementations to talk directly, but securely,
to on-premise enterprise systems. The gateway provides robust security
and high performance when accessing enterprise data and systems from
the cloud.

Direct App Store Publishing: Customers have been asking for the
ability to “white label” apps created on the DSI platform when
publishing to the Apple App Store or to Google Play. Now, thanks to
improvements in Version 8.0, they can do exactly that. Customers can
publish apps with their own branding and it enables them to also
utilize the anonymous user functionality. This means the app developer
can determine when and how authentication occurs.

Enhanced Support for Windows Clients: This now helps support
the new WPF — allowing transparency functionality on Windows devices.
That means our customers can now build apps in the Windows environment
with a better user interface. The update also includes support for
Windows Phone 8.

As the leader in enterprise mobility, DSI equips companies around the
globe to move beyond just implementing mobile apps — to becoming mobile
enterprises. DSI’s Mobile Enterprise Platform enables customers to take
control of their mobile future and create a sustainable, optimized
advantage for their business, moving them closer to a complete mobile
supply chain. For more information about DSI, visit www.dsiglobal.com.
